Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

In the gaming industry, the term 'crunch' has become synonymous with a period during a game's development cycle where employees are required to work extra hours without additional pay. Netspeak Games, on the other hand, stands out as a zero-crunch studio dedicated to creating online multiplayer games. The company places a strong emphasis on fostering diversity, fun, and promoting collaboration within both its team and product development.

Netspeak specialises in cross-platform multiplayer games that are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive and appealing to under-served demographics. Recognising the high barriers to entry in the gaming industry - such as the need to play numerous games, stay updated on industry events, and attend conferences - Netspeak is actively working to make the industry more accessible and equitable.

Netspeak's debut offering is a non-violent, social massive multiplayer online (MMO) game, designed to provide a delightful environment for friends to gather. Within this virtual space, players can unwind, engage in gameplay, or simply find a space for relation and reflection.
